Knight Eagle was fancied to make a winning debut over hurdles at Limerick but jumped moderately and was soon done with. Violinist finished about five lengths in front and should again have his measure. Luddenmore showed nothing on his two opening runs but did much better behind Ainm Spartacus here on his latest start. Gordon Elliott is represented by Plan A, a recent arrival from Mick Quinlan's yard and a threat to all judged on his two runs over timber, and the newcomers Priors Gold and Rocky Wednesday but the best of the first-timers may prove to be SCOTTISH BOOGIE, four times a winner on the Flat and very much at home in testing conditions. He just gets the vote over Plan A in a tricky opener.
